Show J. P. JONES. Senator J. P. Jones announces that he will not be a candidate for re-election before the Nevada Legislature. It is natural. He is close upon eighty years of age. A great character is J. P. Jones. Shrewd and clear-brained; he knows men like a book; he estimates measures with as logical logi-cal a mind as ever existed; no thought is too deep for him to estimate and appreciate it, and nil the time there is an under stratum in his soul which is all geniality, mirthfulness and fun. He graduated gradu-ated from Nature's great school in the lofty Siskiyou Sis-kiyou range, then from the great Comstock school of mines, so that when he went to the Senate he became a schoolmaster to the under-graduates from those petty schools of Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Colum-bia, Princeton and the rest. There is no other just such man as J. P. Jones. |
